Import Tips
• Provide processing certificates confirming hydrolyzation method to distinguish from raw fish meal under other chapters
• Include NPK analysis and organic certification for APHIS clearance on aquatic animal imports
• Label clearly as 'plant fertilizer' to prevent reclassification as aquafeed under 2309
